What does it actually look like to live as a Christian in a hostile world? In this powerful conclusion to his message on Titus 3:1-2, Pastor Bart Horton moves from the heart of readiness to the hands-on reality of godly action. Paul doesn't leave our interaction with the world up to chance. He gives us four specific, challenging commands that define what "every good deed" looks like in practice: malign no one, be peaceable, be gentle, and show every consideration for all men. These aren't suggestions for dealing with nice people - they're instructions for how to live among those who hate us, take advantage of us, and want nothing to do with Christ. And they're only possible because of the Gospel transformation Paul is about to explain in verses 3-7. In this episode, you'll discover:• Why watching your tongue is essential to gospel witness• How to be peaceable without being a pushover• What it means to be "over reasonable" - gentle to your own expense• Why being taken advantage of is actually part of faithful Christian living• How to protect yourself from sin's draw without insulating yourself from sinners. Pastor Bart challenges the common Christian tendency to fight culture with the world's weapons instead of Christ's character. He asks the hard question: Are you a friend of sinners like Jesus was, or do you see sinners as the enemy? This isn't about being a doormat - it's about modeling the same gentleness Christ showed when He allowed Himself to be taken advantage of by our sin, dying on the cross to save us. When we live this way, we show the world something they've never seen before.Growing In Grace is presented by Grace Bible Church of Hutchinson, KS, featuring the verse-by-verse Bible teaching of Pastor Bart Horton.
